Gears of War: Judgement revealed

The cat is out of the bag with Epic’s next title, Gears of War: Judgement.

It is known that the developers behind Bulletstorm, People Can Fly, will be working on the upcoming Gears title, and this leads to speculation that Judgement may be a departure from the standard third person gameplay we’ve come to expect in the series.

Game Informer have revealed artwork for the game, and judging from the young Cole and Baird featured, the story appears to be a prequel to the original Gears of War, however the Locusts in the pictures indicate that the game isn’t set before emergence day.

According to one of IGN’s anonymous sources, Baird and Cole form part of Kilo squad in Judgement alongside new characters Garron and Sofia, all of which have been, “charged for treason because they didn’t follow orders, stole equipment, and their actions could end up killing millions of people they swore to protect.”

The handcuffs around Cole and Baird back up this story, but until E3 next week we won’t know anything for certain.
